How did you figure that out? Are those proper OEM head bolt torque specs that you got from where..?
Just curious because i bought a Comp Orange with blown head gasket and now it's all standing still because i cant find any damn info about the proper cylinder head bolt torque, not in this forum, not on FJ, not anywhere, not even in Mitchell or AllData...

No that doesn't sound right. Here is the exact info from the ford technician...

Tighten all bolts in a single sequence
Note: Always install new cylinder head bolts. 50 Nm
Back the bolts off 1/2 turn.
Tighten the bolts in sequence shown to 50 Nm
see note
Note: Rotate all the bolts in a single sequence an additional 180 degrees in two steps of 90 degrees each.

No, I'm sure that the people on focal have because that's where the information came from. I personally have not though. Check over there on there forums, a lot of good information that sometimes isn't on ours.
